    love to read fellow* people in the unix world discovering what made powershell great 10+ years ago as though it's a paradigm shift. and the top comment of the thread is still nitpicking the points in the post while missing the forest for the trees. I mean ifconfig as an example is lol but still.

    like powershell's got such bizarre warts and design choices and it's more ergonomic than unstructured text pipelines despite that

    i know it's not that simple but still, lol

    *linux has been my primary os for 9+ years, not throwing stones here
